No other guide to writing and illustrating for children does this. 'I wish you all the luck in the world. Don't be a ninny like me, practically giving up at the first rejection. Consult the excellent Children's Writers' & Artists' Yearbook and get going!' Jacqueline Wilson 'Between the covers of this book is everything you need to know to get published' - Julia Donaldson

This book is a definite must have if you are considering in writing stories/poems for children. There is ALOT of information, which may be overwhelming to some (would have prefered it to have been broken up a bit more as it is a bit full on!) but it has absolutly everything that you need to know about getting started in the writing business.

This book is a must if you want to enter the literary world. It has loads of hints, tips and vital contacts. It gives you the hints and tips you would not have thought of and gives you a realistic viewpoint in relation to a person's chances of being published.

This book achieves excellent balance. As well as the much needed lists of publishers and on how/if they accept manuscript submissions, it is full of useful advice and statistics about children's books. I specifically bought the book to see which publishers I would be best approaching but I was soon absorbed by the positive and insightful pieces by authors, publishers and other industry specialists.
It gives you the facts you need to focus your mind, find your market and understand the current trends while providing a good dose of inspiration and morale boosting, all at a reasonable price.
